IIIMIPROVIEMIEIIN'II. IN BALING-PRESSES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERICK, of Albany, in the county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement iu Ealing-Presses; and I do hereby declare that the followingr is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The chief object of my invention is to so construct the press, that the follower may be let down very low in the box, thus rendering it' more convenient to put in the hay.

My invention consists in making the lower end of the pressing-levers very wide, or providing them with arms, in order to attach the windlass-rope at considerable distance below the top of the track upon which the lever-rollers travel.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure I is a perspective view of my press.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.

In the construction of my press, the box A is held by clasping-frames B, C, and D, and provided with a cap, E, the ends of which are caught and held by the adjustable and swinging rods I", as will be hereafter more fully described.

The follower G is moved by a pair of levers, H,

which are pivoted to the follower-timbers at h., and

also geared together at their upper ends, in order to keep the follower always in a horizontal position, or to prevent one end of the follower from moving faster than the other.

At the bottom of the press is a double track, I, upon which the rollers J travel, in operating the levers H.

rIhe windlass K is provided with a pawl, L, and a cord, M, which latter. passes under a pulley, N, then around the pulleys O and O, and has the other end attached at P, in' the centre of the track.

The lower ends of the levers H are made very wide, or provided with arms R, for the purpose of allowing the follower to be dropped very low, and yet give considerable` leverage for start-ing below the tread of the rollers J upon the track I.

'Ile construction will allow the press to be made several feet lower than it could be if the cords were attached to the levers above the rollers J, and conseyquently, the press will be more convenient to fill and discharge.

Having thus fully described my invention,

I claim the levers H H, with their lower ends widened or extended downward between the trackrails,or provided with the arms It, with the power applied below the face' of the track or tread of the leverrollers, substantially as set forth. l

PETER K. DEDERIGK.
